About this app

Swipe. Review. Reclaim space.

Is your Plex server running out of room? Purger for Plex turns library cleanup into a quick, card-based routine: your movies and shows appear as a deck, and you decide with a swipe.

Requires a Plex Media Server you own or administer, with "Allow media deletion" enabled. Deletions are permanent.

How it works
• Swipe left to stage an item for deletion, right to keep it
• Undo the last swipe at any time
• Review the queue and see how much space you'll free before anything is deleted
• Deleting a show removes all of its seasons and episodes

Decide with real data
• Server-wide watch counts: see whether anyone has actually watched that 80 GB 4K remux
• IMDb, TMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings (when your server provides them)
• Resolution, codecs, file size and multiple versions at a glance
• Sort by title, file size, year, rating, date added, watch count or random

Pro (in-app purchase)
• Unlimited swipes (free: 25 a day)
• Advanced filters: rating, watched status, resolution, file size, bitrate, release year, date added and duplicates
• Deletion history with search and CSV export
• Fix Match for wrongly matched items
Sorting, the review queue and deletion itself are free.

Built for your setup
• Local or remote: choose how to connect, at home on your network or away via remote access. Plex Relay is used as a fallback.
• Your review queue is saved per library, so you can pick up where you left off
• Batch deletion with a progress bar for every item
• Great for libraries on a NAS such as Synology, QNAP or Unraid
• Using Sonarr or Radarr? Unmonitor deleted items so they aren't downloaded again
• Dark, OLED-friendly design for late-night server maintenance

Privacy
Your Plex sign-in is stored encrypted on your device and is only sent to Plex and your own server. No ads. Anonymous analytics and crash reports (with tokens removed) help improve the app.

Purger for Plex is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Plex, Inc. Plex is a trademark of Plex, Inc.
Swipe through your Plex library, review the queue, and free up server space.
